LEADERS IN TRAINING – LIT (Age 16)

The LIT program focuses on developing skills in leadership and team building through activities and sessions. The applicants for the LIT program will be selected to participate in the program after reviewing your application and essay. After successful completion of the LIT program you may be recommended for the CIT program the following year.
COUNSELORS IN TRAINING – CIT (Age 17)
June 25 – July 1
The CIT program serves as preparation to become a counselor at Camp Hertko Hollow in future years. A limited number of CITs will be chosen to attend camp during Kids Week and will be assigned to a young cabin of campers. CITs are not staff – but have the opportunity to be mentored and learn directly from staff, help run activities, and learn through observation. CITs should be enthusiastic and positive role models for campers.
*No child is turned away due to an inability to pay. Financial assistance is provided to everyone that requires it.
